Forever Faithful to Life

Feast of St. Francis

Today is the Feast of St. Francis – a friend of nature, a friend to all. Besides his well known Peace Prayer and Canticle of the Sun, he wrote several other poems, including “Our Need for Thee,” ” . . . God is like a honeybee, He doesn’t mind me calling Him that; for when you are kind – sweet – He nears, and can draw you into Himself.”
